Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone installed the AVIC F series into their 2007-2008 Altima Sedan yet. Which dash kit is the best one to use from peoples experience? I need a clean look after the installation.

Thanks!!!

This post helped me find all the parts I needed for my 08 Altima Coupe (I think the dash in the sedan is the same):

Nissan makes a dash kit with the same textured plastic to match rest of the dash.

i just went with a metra kit.

it looks clean

no one even noticed the textured plastic...

too busy looking at the screen

Looking inot putting an Avic F Series in my altima coupe also, As soon as the supposed update is released - I wouldn't use a dash kit, instead buy the factory dash part for naviagtion equipped altimas, if you have the manual climate controls (three knobs) it will look factory!

Previous Poster nailed this - use the nissan club forum - great site - same place I found this info!!

i just used the one from Crutchfield. It looks ok until you touch the border, its a little loose.

I used the metra kit supplied by crutchfield and I don't like it at all. So I ordered one from nissanpartsonline.net. It is supposed to match the textured interior but will only fit if you have the manual climate controls and not the dual digital ones. I'll let ya know how it looks when it arrives.

It said on the link above, that you will need to fill in the spaces if you use the factory dash part for the navigation equipped altimas, by using some additional plastic. So i am just wondering how do u know that it will look smooth?

Thanks.

^-- You asked what it looked like

Thank. But thats for the auto climate dash. I was wondering which kit would be the best for manual climate in order for me to get the smoothest finish.

I wanted to get all the parts before my system comes in so that i can instal it as soon as it arrives.

Thanks.

was the kit from nissanpartsonline.net any better than the metra kit? Let me know. If the texture matches, then im interested in it as well.

the OEM kit is way better than the metra one. It looks like a smooth and factory finish.

Check out the pics below for my finish...

i went to my local Nissan dealership and ordered it directly from them from the parts department.
